The archdiocese covers an area of {{convert|3,373|sqmi|km2}}, encompassing Staffordshire, the West Midlands, Warwickshire, Worcestershire and much of Oxfordshire as well as Caversham in Berkshire. The metropolitan see is in the City of Birmingham at the Metropolitan Cathedral Church of Saint Chad. The metropolitan province includes the suffragan dioceses of Clifton and Shrewsbury. The Archbishop is Bernard Longley, who was named the ninth Archbishop of Birmingham on 1 October 2009. He succeeds the Archbishop of Westminster, Cardinal Vincent Nichols (2000–09). Bishop Longley was installed as Archbishop of Birmingham at the Metropolitan Cathedral and Basilica of Saint Chad on 8 December 2009, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception and one of the patronal feasts of the Archdiocese, St Chad being the other. HistoryErected as the Vicariate Apostolic of the Midlands District in 1688, the vicariate grew very slowly until the advent of the industrial revolution. In response to the large growth the name was changed in 1840 to the Vicariate Apostolic of Central District and a new vicariate created out of the eastern district. Finally, in September 1850, the vicariate was elevated to a full diocese, as the Diocese of Birmingham, along with the Diocese of Nottingham and the Diocese of Shrewsbury. The diocese was then suffragan to the Archdiocese of Westminster. The Diocese of Birmingham was elevated to archdiocese status on 28 October 1911. Diocesan boundaries{{unreferenced section|date=November 2016}}The Archbishop of Birmingham, the Most Reverend Bernard Longley, has overall episcopal oversight of the diocese. The diocese is divided into three pastoral areas, each of which are headed by an area bishop and contain a number of deaneries. The pastoral area scheme was established under Archbishop Vincent Nichols on 10 January 2006.
